Best Winter Y2K Movies: From Slope Laughs to Icy Disasters

[00:00:00] Winter has come early. In this bonus episode, we're trying to guess the Rotten Tomatoes rankings of some winter classics. Dive into another round of employee picks and figure out our favorite comedy tropes. Let's bundle up and dive in.

[00:00:28] This week on the No More Late Fees podcast, we are joined by our amazing pal and returning guest, Ron. Welcome.

[00:00:36] What's up?

[00:00:37] Ron's back!

[00:00:39] And the world is ending!

[00:00:43] Ron's back again!

[00:00:44] It was just Hollywood.

[00:00:46] And now it's the entire...

[00:00:49] Everything's on fire!

[00:00:53] But if you guys are new to this, or you're like, I think I remember Ron, if you checked out our baseball episode, and he's also our favorite, favorite person ever.

[00:01:08] Her other half.

[00:01:10] Yeah, that's true.

[00:01:11] I was just like, I'm your favorite person. Of course it's Gwen.

[00:01:14] Of course it's Gwen.

[00:01:16] Second favorite person.

[00:01:16] I'm like, I'm your favorite?

[00:01:18] Honestly, Ron, look.

[00:01:20] You know what? It just happens that we met her first.

[00:01:24] Yeah.

[00:01:24] Listen, I get it.

[00:01:25] You imprinted on us immediately, like, Jacob in Twilight.

[00:01:30] We are not Rene Esme.

[00:01:32] We're Rene Esme!

[00:01:34] I'm the Rene, you're the Esme.

[00:01:38] Oh, goodness.

[00:01:44] I don't want to be a CGI baby.

[00:01:50] Did you upload your stuff?

[00:01:51] I did!

[00:01:53] This is a great start.

[00:01:57] I don't know the rest.

[00:01:57] Ron, how are things been going?

[00:02:00] How has the ADHD coaching been going?

[00:02:03] Good.

[00:02:04] So, I don't know if you guys know this, but I just started a nonprofit.

[00:02:08] So, we just got our 501c3 a couple weeks ago.

[00:02:12] It's called the Monoceros Initiative.

[00:02:14] And our goal is to widen access and representation in the ADHD community.

[00:02:20] And a big focus of ours is to kind of uplift and help out the educators and coaches and content creators and people that really are kind of like on the front lines doing a ton of work trying to get the help out there and be advocates.

[00:02:38] And really are just kind of not helped at all themselves.

[00:02:42] A lot of them are solopreneurs trying to do this as their job, and it just doesn't work out super well.

[00:02:47] But we try to uplift them and yeah, it's been going really good.

[00:02:52] We had a virtual conference last week.

[00:02:54] We do collaboration events.

[00:02:56] We're doing a collaboration cruise for ADHD professionals next year.

[00:03:01] So, yeah.

[00:03:02] I am down to help you guys with that initiative.

[00:03:04] That's sweet.

[00:03:05] Because both my siblings, they both have ADHD in different formats.

[00:03:09] Like my sister's is on the slower end and my brother's is on the faster end.

[00:03:13] I'm not sure if that like is the proper terminology, but.

[00:03:17] It's good.

[00:03:18] Honestly, I actually didn't mind that one.

[00:03:20] Oh, okay.

[00:03:21] There's people that are just that will say things like, oh, theirs isn't as bad.

[00:03:25] And I'm like, well, that's not really a thing.

[00:03:27] It's just different.

[00:03:28] It's just how you present.

[00:03:29] So it's like the hyperactivity and inattentiveness.

[00:03:32] Like example, Gwen and I both have ADHD, but we have very different types of ADHD.

[00:03:37] Right.

[00:03:37] And it presents differently in women, right?

[00:03:40] Mm hmm.

[00:03:42] Mostly, I would say there's a lot of men that it presents similarly with that as women, but I would say the majority.

[00:03:49] Yes, that it's more inattentive for women and it tends to go unnoticed that way because it's really like I said, it's how it presents how you kind of are interacting with the world around you.

[00:04:00] And it's really a disorder of, you know, parents and teachers and partners.

[00:04:06] And now, you know, as people get older, partners and your employers and people in your lives who are really annoyed with how things are going with you.

[00:04:15] And that's when it turns in when people start to realize that they have it.

[00:04:19] And the idea behind it is just like a different way that your brain works.

[00:04:22] So there are benefits to it.

[00:04:25] Your brain can come up with some unique things.

[00:04:27] There tends to be more creativity, but ultimately the way society set up it, it makes it a disorder because it makes it really difficult to function the way people expect you to.

[00:04:38] Yeah, I love and maybe wrong this, but I love to tell my brother and sister that in a way it's kind of like a gift because.

[00:04:50] I believe people with ADHD come into this world to challenge the status quo and to think outside of the box of how everyone else is thinking.

[00:05:03] And it's always hard to be outside of, you know, outside of the box.

[00:05:12] But usually those are the people that we look at that change things because they're not they're seeing from a different perspective, a different lens.

[00:05:21] And I always appreciate that.

[00:05:24] Yeah, it's something that I think it's important for ADHD years to recognize their strengths and recognize what they're doing.

[00:05:33] It's what they bring to the table.

[00:05:35] It can get a little complicated when we talk about it as a gift or a lot of people like to call it a superpower.

[00:05:42] Well, no, because then you're stressing yourself out.

[00:05:45] There's this idea that it there's it's kind of like going into the vein of like toxic positivity and ableism when you start to.

[00:05:53] Right. But at the same time, it's really as long as you're not discounting the struggles that people go through, because what tends to happen is when someone is saying, I just can't do this or I'm struggling with this.

[00:06:06] It's the response to it ends up being don't look at it that way, look at it as a gift.

[00:06:10] And that's when it's a problem. But 100 percent, there are a lot of benefits to it.

[00:06:17] It's just when we look at things, you're much more likely to get fired from your job.

[00:06:23] You're much more likely to be incarcerated.

[00:06:25] You're much more likely to get a divorce.

[00:06:28] You're much more likely to die earlier.

[00:06:31] You're much more like like there's so many things where too often I think people start saying like, oh, don't look at it as a disorder or a disability.

[00:06:40] Like you're like, oh, well, you know, screw you like it is.

[00:06:44] Yeah. Sure.

[00:06:45] I mean, I'm the first to to say to their their there tends to be a lot of privilege with it, too.

[00:06:51] As a white dude, I got away with having ADHD most of my life.

[00:06:57] And I still struggled in a lot of areas and I still lost jobs and I still had to talk my way out of things.

[00:07:02] And that ended up being what my quote unquote superpower was where people were like, oh, wow, Ron can talk his way out of getting fired or figure that.

[00:07:12] And it's because of necessity.

[00:07:13] I had to learn to do that from a young age when I was in trouble and I didn't know why or I forgot my homework or I forgot to do this.

[00:07:21] I had to start having different coping mechanisms.

[00:07:24] And again, there's benefits to being able to do that.

[00:07:28] And I and I'm thankful for them.

[00:07:30] And at the same time, I know there's a lot of people that just don't get those opportunities and chances that I got or aren't as outgoing and willing to be extroverted.

[00:07:40] And so there's it really depends.

[00:07:42] The idea is kind of what you're saying, though.

[00:07:44] Everybody in the world has a different way of thinking and utilizing that's really important.

[00:07:50] So part of what I do as an advocate is try to encourage businesses and people in relationships to recognize the benefits of having someone that has ADHD that you're working with or that you're in a relationship with and understand that like, hey, you have to come at things a little bit differently.

[00:08:10] So it's not just helping someone with ADHD be a better partner, but it's also helping the partner say, like, what are some things you can do to kind of understand like, hey, I know my partner struggles with this.

[00:08:23] I'm not going to have the same expectations of them, but I'm going to be a shitty partner, but I'm going to allow them some grace and meet them where they're at and be like, OK, if you're at a two, I'm not holding expectations at a 10.

[00:08:42] And I'm going to let's get to a three.

[00:08:44] Let's get to a four.

[00:08:45] And you may never be a nine or a 10 at this area, but like growth is important.

[00:08:52] And what are some things you can do to make up for that?

[00:08:54] And we do a lot of that in coaching where we say, like, how can we lean on our strengths to kind of make up for the areas that we struggle with?

[00:09:02] I like that you said meet people where they're at.

[00:09:05] I think, you know, being in a relationship, being a loved one with someone who has ADHD, there is a lot of work on your end that you have to do.

[00:09:18] If you love this person and you're dedicated to being a part of their life and helping them, you have to read stuff.

[00:09:25] You have to understand why and where things are coming from, as well as listen to the to their perspective, because I think especially from a parenting side, every parent kind of has this narrative in their head about what they envision their kids to be.

[00:09:45] And there is like a bit of grief when the child obviously turns out completely different than that.

[00:09:54] And, you know, some people can control that a little bit better than others.

[00:09:59] But I think acceptance is a huge part of it.

[00:10:04] A lot of parents are not good with the diagnosis, especially if the child is able to get diagnosed early in their life.

[00:10:11] So there's a lot of barriers to that because you're already fighting the ADHD itself because you're learning that it's not what other people are going through.

[00:10:23] And then now you have to fight people in your life who are not understanding, like you said.

[00:10:28] And so then there's like, hopefully there's an acceptance standpoint.

[00:10:32] You know, there's some parents who just never get there, unfortunately.

[00:10:36] But if you can, if you have children who are diagnosed and you have the ability to learn and figure out how to be with them on this journey, I highly recommend that you educate yourself as much as possible.

[00:10:52] My husband, Ken, struggles with that with his mom because she's like labels, blah, blah, blah.

[00:10:57] And he's never been formally diagnosed.

[00:10:59] But like to me, Ken is like I call him if you give a mouse a cookie.

[00:11:04] It's just like, oh, this task needs to be done.

[00:11:07] But I need this.

[00:11:08] Oh, this needs to be like he just is a little Tasmanian devil.

[00:11:12] Like he'll eventually get back to the first task after he does a million side quests and working with special needs kids like everyone needs different tools in their toolboxes.

[00:11:23] And so regardless if you even have a diagnosis, what works for you is what works for you.

[00:11:30] And as much as he tries to explain like he can't do things digitally, he has object permanence.

[00:11:36] If it's in his phone, it doesn't exist.

[00:11:39] So we use paper calendars and he doesn't do lists.

[00:11:42] And his parents are like, just make a list and then you can cross things out.

[00:11:46] And he's like, he has said for 40 plus years, lists don't work for me.

[00:11:51] Mm hmm.

[00:11:52] And so like just coming up with different strategies right now, we're trying something where I just write tasks that need to be done around the house on post-its and I just post them like on our pantry door.

[00:12:02] For me, it's really satisfying tearing off post-it like because I'm done with that task.

[00:12:08] And so but then it's something he can just every time he walks by the pantry, it's there as a reminder.

[00:12:16] And he has time blindness.

[00:12:17] So we've worked out in our relationship, like if he has to be somewhere and he's outside working, I call him two hours before you have two hours.

[00:12:26] Call him an hour before, call him 30 minutes before.

[00:12:29] And like for me, it's no big deal.

[00:12:31] I'm just sitting in the house doing whatever.

[00:12:33] But then he's like, OK, now I know I need to get in the house and get changed or whatever.

[00:12:39] So it's just that acceptance and being willing to work with the tools that work for the individual are like huge.

[00:12:48] And when you don't have that acceptance, it's so hard.

[00:12:53] Yeah.

[00:12:53] And there's so much shame that ties with it, too.

[00:12:55] You know, when even kids that I've worked with whose parents are are fantastic and accepting and wanting to learn, there's still so much shame and so many little bits of rejection that happen throughout a child's day.

[00:13:14] And even as an adult and whether it's teachers or friends or whoever, and you don't realize it, but it ends up being like, you know, the amount of times I heard like, oh, of course, Ron's a little late or of course this.

[00:13:27] And like, let me guess, Ron.

[00:13:29] And that kind of stuff builds up.

[00:13:31] Yeah.

[00:13:32] And it would happen daily.

[00:13:33] Right.

[00:13:34] And more than once.

[00:13:35] And, you know, throughout your whole life, you just start to take that on.

[00:13:39] And the thing about labels, and I especially tell this to adults who like, well, why do I want to get diagnosed?

[00:13:47] And the thing that I've learned the most about my journey, especially over the last four years, is the more I learn about myself, the better I am at figuring out how I work in the world.

[00:13:59] I consider myself like, like I tell everyone, like you're a computer and your computer works differently than everyone else's and you don't have the instruction manual.

[00:14:07] So figure out the instruction manual, like what gets you going.

[00:14:11] It might not always work, but I've got a list of things and it's not a list because I hate listening.

[00:14:16] But I've got like a toolbox or a lunchbox of things in my head that like, oh, if I need to get started on something, let's try this.

[00:14:26] Sometimes it works.

[00:14:27] Sometimes it doesn't.

[00:14:28] And I have, well, let's try this.

[00:14:30] Let's try this.

[00:14:30] Like, oh, this isn't working.

[00:14:31] I do this.

[00:14:32] I'm really struggling to, you know, finish.

[00:14:34] Why is it that?

[00:14:36] Have I not taken any breaks?

[00:14:38] Have I eaten and drank water today?

[00:14:39] Have I forgotten to do this?

[00:14:40] Like, and it's exhausting and it's not perfect.

[00:14:44] And it's such an up and down thing, right?

[00:14:47] You always hear like progress isn't linear.

[00:14:50] It's especially not linear for someone with ADHD.

[00:14:52] But when I'm able to say to Gwen, I'm really struggling with this and it's not met with shame or, you know, guilt or them being pissed or whatever.

[00:15:07] Like, I'm better equipped to move forward because I'm like, okay, but I'm going to do this now.

[00:15:13] And I'm like, okay, cool.

[00:15:14] And, you know, especially with kids, we always say like they want to do well if they can.

[00:15:21] And so if they can't, there's usually something up and it's okay to meet them where they're at, figure out what it is and move forward.

[00:15:28] A lot of times too with ADHD years.

[00:15:30] And I think this is the hardest thing for parents to realize is it's an uneven brain development.

[00:15:36] So when they're younger, they tip, a lot of times you see these kids in advanced classes or in gifted classes or people just be like, wow, they're talking earlier.

[00:15:47] They're so good at this or they're, this is incredible.

[00:15:50] They're gifted, right?

[00:15:52] And so they get put in all gifted and advanced classes.

[00:15:56] And at first it's probably easy to handle, but as they get older, they're overwhelmed and they can't anymore.

[00:16:02] And now it's like, well, this is a you problem when it's like, no, they're just not caught up in a lot of executive functioning areas.

[00:16:10] And now it's, I mean, I was told forever that I have all the potential in the world and I'm supposed to do this and I'm supposed to do that.

[00:16:17] And when I struggle to be able to plan my day and succeed at all the tasks I want to accomplish just in one day, it makes it really hard to reach any potential people thought I had.

[00:16:32] And so there's just a shit ton of shame with that too.

[00:16:36] I feel for you, Ron, because that's, I can't even imagine that's difficult, but I'm glad that I'm learning more about it.

[00:16:46] Because I definitely have more empathy for both of my siblings, but it also helps when I'm like, okay, now you're bullshitting me because they're both extremely smart and manipulative in different ways.

[00:17:01] And I can be like, I'm calling you on that one.

[00:17:04] And there's a difference between enabling and, you know, accepting and being understanding with stuff.

[00:17:14] And that's, that's always the thing too.

[00:17:17] There is definitely the parent or the partner that is just so enabling.

[00:17:20] And it there's, it's such a black and white thing, right?

[00:17:23] Where it's like either if I'm working with like a couple and, you know, it's either, well, this person needs to meet my standards or the other, the one person's like, I shouldn't have to grow because I have ADHD.

[00:17:39] And this is just who I am.

[00:17:40] And both of those are wrong.

[00:17:43] Like that's, there's this black and white thinking.

[00:17:45] And, and I always look at all of this, whether it's a parent, child, a teacher, and a child employer and, you know, the employee or two partners.

[00:17:54] It's in relationships.

[00:17:55] If one person has ADHD and the other doesn't, it, both people need to move closer together.

[00:18:01] Right.

[00:18:02] So the expectations need to be lowered a little bit.

[00:18:05] And the person does need to grow and try to reach some expectation.

[00:18:09] It might be small, but like we need to experience growth.

[00:18:13] It can't just be, accept me for who I am.

[00:18:15] I'm not going to change.

[00:18:17] And it can't just be, be what I want you to be, or else you're fired or whatever, or else it's not going to work.

[00:18:25] So preach.

[00:18:26] And the sad thing is that you just described relationships with or without ADHD because.

[00:18:32] Totally.

[00:18:34] We're all like, expectations, I think in the world are so everything, right?

[00:18:40] Yeah.

[00:18:41] Friendship or like romantic relationships, parent, child relationships.

[00:18:46] Like it's the X, what you expect of somebody matters so much.

[00:18:50] And sometimes you don't even realize it, but.

[00:18:53] It, that's where communication comes in.

[00:18:55] And if the relationship is important to you, you need to find a way to, to meet in the middle.

[00:19:01] So.

[00:19:02] Unless it's time to go.

[00:19:03] Yeah.

[00:19:04] Unless it's like deuces.

[00:19:06] Then it's, you know, sometimes you, you look at the relationship and you're like, I've given this all I can.

[00:19:13] But.

[00:19:13] And the six, that's a success too.

[00:19:15] Yeah.

[00:19:16] I was talking to somebody who realized that recently and I'm like, that's a celebrate.

[00:19:20] That's something to say like, oh, I've successfully ended this relationship.

[00:19:25] Yeah.

[00:19:25] We think of things like that as a failure, but it's like, no, that's a success.

[00:19:29] All right.

[00:19:30] Jackie.

[00:19:30] Jackie.

[00:19:31] I came up with a new game.

[00:19:33] It's called throwing tomatoes.

[00:19:36] That was me throwing tomatoes.

[00:19:38] So I pulled a list of all these snow movies since we're doing out, we did out cold and everybody has to try to rank these movies in order of like, who got the best rotten tomato score.

[00:19:54] I didn't look, so I'm going to try to do mine first so that I can go look and see if I'm right.

[00:20:00] Cause I want to play.

[00:20:01] Are we, is this critic or audience?

[00:20:04] Critic.

[00:20:05] Okay.

[00:20:05] Okay.

[00:20:06] Yeah.

[00:20:06] Cause the audience cannot be trusted.

[00:20:10] Sometimes I did, I listened to this one podcast on TikTok that they posted where they did stuff similar, but they like added stuff up.

[00:20:18] And sometimes it's like the audience is right.

[00:20:20] And the critics, you're like, what the fuck?

[00:20:22] Okay.

[00:20:22] So we're going.

[00:20:24] One is the highest score.

[00:20:27] Eight is the lowest score.

[00:20:28] Okay.

[00:20:28] Yes.

[00:20:29] Gotcha.

[00:20:31] Yeah.

[00:20:32] And I guess let's just tally our points.

[00:20:34] How many we get correct.

[00:20:36] All right.

[00:20:37] I think will be the easiest way.

[00:20:39] I love when we figure out how to play games while we're playing.

[00:20:42] I know.

[00:20:43] Ron, what was your number one?

[00:20:45] The Polar Express.

[00:20:47] Ice Age.

[00:20:49] The Day After Tomorrow.

[00:20:51] Eight Below.

[00:20:52] Snow Dogs.

[00:20:53] Snow Day.

[00:20:54] Out Cold.

[00:20:55] Ice Princess.

[00:20:56] I am going to just go in the order of how I had them.

[00:21:01] So I'm going to look up Out Cold first.

[00:21:04] I think Out Cold's going to be low.

[00:21:06] I agree.

[00:21:08] Jackie did.

[00:21:09] Oh, shit.

[00:21:11] But I think the audience will be somewhat high.

[00:21:14] I feel like people love that movie.

[00:21:15] The Tomato Meter, 8%.

[00:21:17] The Popcorn Meter, 84%.

[00:21:19] Okay.

[00:21:20] Yeah.

[00:21:20] That's a huge gap.

[00:21:22] That's a huge gap.

[00:21:24] Wow.

[00:21:24] Okay.

[00:21:24] The next.

[00:21:25] So when I say that, can you tell me the next movie?

[00:21:28] Snow Day.

[00:21:30] My favorite.

[00:21:35] Oh, shit.

[00:21:36] I usually edit this out.

[00:21:39] Okay.

[00:21:40] Oh, shit.

[00:21:41] 30%.

[00:21:42] 30%.

[00:21:43] 30%.

[00:21:44] All right.

[00:21:45] So far, I'm correct.

[00:21:47] Snow Dogs.

[00:21:48] Boy.

[00:21:50] The other one was 30%?

[00:21:51] Yeah.

[00:21:53] Snow Dogs, 26%.

[00:21:55] Damn it.

[00:21:56] I switched it.

[00:21:57] I was just.

[00:21:58] That's so close.

[00:22:00] I switched it.

[00:22:01] All right.

[00:22:02] What's the next one?

[00:22:04] All right.

[00:22:05] Ooh, 52%.

[00:22:06] Damn.

[00:22:07] And the popcorn meter was 58%, so not too far off.

[00:22:12] I said I should watch this movie.

[00:22:14] It's something.

[00:22:16] It's something.

[00:22:16] All right.

[00:22:17] What's the next one?

[00:22:18] Ice Age.

[00:22:20] I hope that it's high considering it got a million different.

[00:22:25] It's got to be high.

[00:22:27] 77%.

[00:22:28] Next one.

[00:22:29] Eight below.

[00:22:31] Forward.

[00:22:32] Walker.

[00:22:33] Walker.

[00:22:34] Walker.

[00:22:36] 73%.

[00:22:37] Now, what?

[00:22:39] I didn't see that.

[00:22:41] 73%.

[00:22:42] I did not see that coming.

[00:22:44] Did not see that coming.

[00:22:46] Day after tomorrow.

[00:22:49] 45%.

[00:22:50] Wow.

[00:22:52] Shocker.

[00:22:53] Shocked.

[00:22:54] And was that the last one?

[00:22:56] And Polar Express.

[00:22:58] Oh.

[00:22:58] Someone's got to win, right?

[00:22:59] I don't know.

[00:23:00] I was real shocked by Day After Tomorrow.

[00:23:05] 56%.

[00:23:06] Oh, damn.

[00:23:06] Damn.

[00:23:07] Well, I got zero.

[00:23:09] Oh, no.

[00:23:11] All right.

[00:23:12] Okay.

[00:23:13] So the rankings.

[00:23:15] Number one is Ice Age with 77%.

[00:23:19] Number two is Eat Below with 73%.

[00:23:26] Number three is Polar Express with 56%.

[00:23:30] I got one right.

[00:23:32] I got one right.

[00:23:33] Number four is Ice Princess with 52%.

[00:23:37] Got that.

[00:23:38] Got that.

[00:23:44] Number six is Snow Day with 30%.

[00:23:48] Seven Snow Dogs with 26%.

[00:23:53] And Out Cold bringing up the rear in eighth place with 8%.

[00:23:59] Wild.

[00:24:01] I love how the audience score that one's like.

[00:24:05] Oh, wait.

[00:24:06] And it's like.

[00:24:08] I got four right.

[00:24:10] Look at you.

[00:24:11] I don't think I got any, but.

[00:24:13] Oh, no.

[00:24:13] I know I got Out Cold because I know.

[00:24:15] I knew it was extremely low.

[00:24:18] Because it shows up on listicles sometimes.

[00:24:22] Yeah.

[00:24:23] I got Ice Age, the Polar Express, Ice Princess, and.

[00:24:29] Wait, which one did they?

[00:24:31] Wait, which one was Snow Day?

[00:24:33] Which one was higher?

[00:24:34] Snow Day or Snow Dogs?

[00:24:36] Snow Day.

[00:24:37] I got Ice Age.

[00:24:40] So Ron and I tied.

[00:24:42] Because I got Snow Day sixth.

[00:24:44] I think.

[00:24:47] Okay.

[00:24:48] Yeah.

[00:24:48] So I got Ice Age, Polar Express, Ice Princess, and Snow Dog right.

[00:24:53] Look at you.

[00:24:55] Hanging out on Rotten Tomatoes for some reason.

[00:24:59] All right.

[00:25:01] What's the question of the day?

[00:25:04] What is your favorite sports comedy trope?

[00:25:10] Oh, I have to think about this.

[00:25:12] I don't fancy myself.

[00:25:15] I know.

[00:25:16] Us with sports comedy.

[00:25:17] I think my favorite is like randomly somebody.

[00:25:24] Somebody from the team like gets hurt or something.

[00:25:27] And then someone else has to step up.

[00:25:30] Yeah.

[00:25:30] Like always like the best person, the best player.

[00:25:34] And I'm like, God damn it.

[00:25:37] I find that interesting.

[00:25:39] I love that in my jokes.

[00:25:41] That gets me every time.

[00:25:45] Not Banks.

[00:25:46] What are we going to do without Banks?

[00:25:51] That's really funny.

[00:25:53] I do like a montage of them just having fun playing the game where it's not that serious.

[00:26:00] And we love a sports montage.

[00:26:02] I love it.

[00:26:03] Like the Sandlot.

[00:26:05] You know, we get.

[00:26:06] Basketball.

[00:26:08] Out cold.

[00:26:08] We don't get a montage, but we get the king of the mountain scene, which is very similar.

[00:26:13] We get some snowboarding montage.

[00:26:15] We do.

[00:26:15] But none of that is them.

[00:26:20] Very obviously.

[00:26:21] No, none of that is them.

[00:26:22] I don't know.

[00:26:23] They did show how.

[00:26:25] What's his name?

[00:26:25] And Rick at the end, like in the bloopers.

[00:26:28] Yes.

[00:26:28] That they show at the end that he is snowboarding.

[00:26:31] All right, Ron, do you have a trope?

[00:26:34] Yeah.

[00:26:35] In all the sports comedies that I can think of, there is always someone that is not good

[00:26:42] at the sport.

[00:26:43] True.

[00:26:44] Even in like, I think of like movies where it's like professional teams.

[00:26:49] There's always someone that has no business being a professional on it.

[00:26:52] Like in Mighty Ducks, there's people that can't fucking skate.

[00:26:57] Right.

[00:26:58] Or Anthony in this movie.

[00:27:00] Anthony.

[00:27:01] It's just like the fact that they mentioned too, that like he had lost King of the Mountain

[00:27:06] like three years in a row and he works at a resort.

[00:27:10] Yeah.

[00:27:11] And he can't snowboard.

[00:27:13] Fucked up.

[00:27:18] Very classic.

[00:27:20] Yeah.

[00:27:21] Okay.

[00:27:21] Well, now it is time for you to become an honorary blockbuster employee again.

[00:27:28] Last time your three picks were National Treasure, The Incredibles, and a Goofy movie.

[00:27:34] So we invite you to choose three more movies from 95 to 2005 that you would recommend.

[00:27:43] Oof.

[00:27:44] Three different movies?

[00:27:46] Yes.

[00:27:49] He's like, run it again.

[00:27:52] Yeah.

[00:27:52] I'm just like, I feel like there's Mallrats during that time.

[00:27:56] Yes.

[00:27:57] I would say Mallrats for sure.

[00:27:59] I might just rattle off some Kevin Smith movies because that was a good time for those.

[00:28:06] There's Mallrats.

[00:28:07] Yes.

[00:28:08] And I recently watched this the other day and it's a movie that when it pops on, I feel like

[00:28:12] it was around this time.

[00:28:13] 10 Things I Hate About You.

[00:28:14] Absolutely.

[00:28:15] It was on the other day and it's definitely one of those movies where I just like watched

[00:28:19] it and then like watched 90% of it because I'm like, this is a good movie.

[00:28:24] Yeah.

[00:28:25] I'm sorry.

[00:28:25] This is great.

[00:28:26] We did it with Gwen, but it was a lost episode.

[00:28:28] Yeah.

[00:28:29] I don't know if we didn't record it or if we got deleted.

[00:28:34] That's amazing.

[00:28:35] Yeah.

[00:28:35] I feel like I watch that movie once a year.

[00:28:38] Yeah.

[00:28:39] It's really good.

[00:28:40] Yeah.

[00:28:41] And I mean, we're kind of going sports.

[00:28:42] Was this, was the Benchwarmers during this time?

[00:28:45] I think so.

[00:28:46] It was.

[00:28:47] If not, it was 2006, which is not that big of a deal.

[00:28:50] I recently saw somebody write about that movie somewhere and it's, it's stupid.

[00:28:59] Yes.

[00:29:00] And it's enjoyable.

[00:29:01] So, yeah.
